Frontera Studio was built around the idea of borders. In the most literal sense, our studio is located in la Frontera - the borderland between Texas and Mexico. However, borders are part of our work in every way. Daily we push our art beyond our creative boundaries, bringing full stories and nuance to our clients and portfolio.At Frontera Studio, we put a personal touch on our portrait and commercial photography services, as well as art reproduction.

I'm a photojournalist and editorial photographer based in El Paso, Texas working at the intersection of climate, labor, and migration. In 2012, I graduated from the New England School of Photography with a focus on architectural and documentary photography. Since then I have photographed ad campaigns and assignments throughout North and Central America. Photographs of mine are held in the permanent collections of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, West Virginia University, and El Paso Museum of History.If you are interested in commissioning a story or purchasing a print please contact me directly at justin@justinmhamel.com.Clients include:The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Intercept, Atlas Obscura, Texas Monthly, and El Paso Matters.
